Since 2003, Equilibrarte developed dedicated techniques for the use of carbon/epoxy composites. Starting from the construction of the support panels for the fragmented frescoes by Cimabue in the Basilica Superiore of Assisi (70 m2). In 2010 the use of 3D scanning, modeling and manufacturing techniques changed the approach and increased the possibilities.

Since 2014, the use of a self-made large-bed 3D milling machine allowed the construction of counterforms and support panels for large architectural monuments, like the 90 m2 of detached Roman stucco decoration of a hypogeum mausoleum.

The use of 3D models has been at the base of recomposition of fragmented sculptures and combined with the use of carbon-epoxy of glass-epoxy composite materials.  Related information has made the object of 21 papers (2003-2020).
